$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed
AVONDALE, Ariz., Jan. 29 (UPI) -- An Arizona man said his 3-year-old Labrador retriever was so excited for the Super Bowl that he devoured two very expensive tickets to the game.
Chris Gallagher, of Avondale, Ariz., said he asked that a courier slip the envelope containing two Super Bowl XLII tickets under his doormat but the envelope was instead inserted under the door -- and into the waiting jaws of his dog, Buddy, The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday.
Gallagher said the tickets, which he purchased for friends, were valued at $900 apiece.
However, he said the seller assured him that the tickets can be replaced in time for game day.
The dog owner said the tickets were only the latest of Buddy's many victims, which have included sunglasses, shoes and footballs.
"He's a troublemaker," Gallagher told the Republic. "But he looks at you with those big eyes and you can't be mad for long."
The Super Bowl, sending the New England Patriots against the New York Giants, is Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.
